I have decided in order to keep myself motivated, I will post my weight each week - every Monday - so you can keep track (if interested) on the progress. I call it Week 2, because it is the beginning of Week 2, but I could call it "after Week 1" but it just doesn't sound that great - I don't want to mislead anyone either that it has been longer than it has. Regardless, I am posting my weight in order to keep myself, and perhaps some of you motivated that this is really happening and I am really working hard at attaining my own personal goal of losing 50lbs in the next 9 months.
13km is a long walk - it takes just under 2 hours, actually I have decreased my time by 4 minutes from when I first started. Two hours means there is A LOT of time to be thinking. If you know me, you know that I already think way too much. I do enjoy the fact that I cannot be reached during this time by phone, by email and that it is time just for me. Just me and Mariah, Janet, Michael, Snoop, Dre and many many more....so I don't feel completely alone. Different thoughts do enter my mind, some may consider them random - but yesterday what kept me going is how good I will look in an outfit similar to this one:
She is fabulous, looks amazing and I want a photo shoot done (same day as naked fur on a chaise day) wearing this - again, can we say Fabulous Infinity? Especially when I will treat myself to a fabulous pair of Louboutin's! Oh, and no doubt there will be some SERIOUS strutting in this outfit. I still want curves *just not as many as I have now* and I would be very happy with myself if I can pull this look off especially since my hair is already fabulous.
Yesterday I discussed the mind games, what you are about to read is the numbers game:
This morning, the scale reflected my weight as follows:
215.
In the past week:
Pounds gone: 4
Starbucks Chocolate Chunk Cookies: ZERO - yes, you read correctly. I haven't had one in over a week now - 9 days clean
Chocolate bars: ZeroCool Ranch Doritos (or any other chips): Zero
Peanut Butter: 1 teaspoon with banana before a 13km walk (NO tablespoons!)
Salad and vegetables: more than ever - didn't count
Fruit: more than ever - didn't count
Number of KM walked: 52
Although I have only lost 4lbs, and most likely mostly water weight I am happy the number went down rather than up - which is the whole point of all of this. Progress may be slow, but the results will last hopefully forever :)
Exercise today: Day off walking, back at 13KM tomorrow night. Try not to feel so bad about making mistakes.
